I have owned a NN3 for about a year and had been using it with a Canon Rebel XT. I sold the big SLR and purchased a Panasonic Lumix LX3 compact point-and-shoot. Would like to continue using the NN3, but have yet to find any tips or settings for using this compact camera with the NN3. I rarely do 360&#039;s, generally 180 panos, just FYI.

Anyone able to help with setting for this new camera? Are the compacts more forgiving in locating the nodal point than the big SLR&#039;s.

Thanks!

Re: Lumix LX-3 and the NN3

Hi and welcome to the forum.
NN3 was primarily built for point and shoot cameras. Finding the correct no parallax point (NPP) is very important (+/- 2mm&#039;s). You might have to find your NPP manually for the focal length you decide to shot at. John gives a great tutorial: http://www.johnhpanos.com/epcalib.htm
Once you learn the settings please share them with us.
Thank you
Bill

I did a LX3 with NN3 earlier this year. http://bit.ly/4lB11A, sorry i did not take note of the settings but it is easily attainable.
